Bounce’s analysis determines what countries are the overall best as well as the best in specific categories for solo travelers. If affordability is the focus, Nepal and Sri Lanka have some of the most ideal options.
Bounce used a series of criteria to determine the best countries for solo travelers overall. First, online articles and lists were used to create an initial list of countries generally denoted as “good” for solo travelers. Then, factors of things to do, affordability, accommodations, safety and weather were taken into account. Each country was then scored out of ten based on the factors and sub-factors before an average was taken across the scores to receive the company’s “final overall solo travel index.”
This is the full list of the top 20 countries Bounce determined are the overall best for solo travelers:
- Croatia
- Malta
- Slovenia
- Portugal
- Iceland
- Greece
- Hungary
- Spain
- Singapore
- Israel
- Austria
- Italy
- Jordan
- Switzerland
- Sri Lanka
- Thailand
- Finland
- Australia
- Morocco
- Costa Rica
All in all, these countries certainly provide opportunities for solo travelers to have “one of the most rewarding and enriching experiences of someone’s life,” as the company says. And before jet-setting off to any destination, take a look at the ultimate travel checklist that is a must-have for any trip.
